User Fees in Canada : A Municipal Design and Implementation Guide

User fees have become increasingly relied upon by municipal governments in Canada to fund municipal services, yet little information exists about how to design and implement a user fee. This book provides a useful source of technical and non-technical guidance for Canadian municipal officials, whether they are contemplating a new user fee regime or looking to improve a existing one. It develops a set of smart practices, showing practitioners how to apply the technical rules from law and economics, to address non-technical policy and political factors, and to bring prudential judgement to bear on the whole process of the design and implementation of municipal user fees in Canada
